The full story
Why Brewster Subaru earned this grade
Between November 2025 and February 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 8 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
✓ What they do well
2 thingsAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 13% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,226 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $374 is above NY's legal cap of $175. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $175 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
